Do Sheets and LibreOffice have Solver? No. They don’t.
2 comments

Lotus 1-2-3 had a Solver (two actually, one called "Solver" and one called "What-If") in 1989. Yes, LibreOffice has one too.

Does Microsoft tell their customers they invented these features? Just a few days ago I saw a Windows developer who thought Microsoft invented conditional breakpoints.

LibreOffice does have an solver. but i have no idea how it compares to others.
